Where can I find hog ring pliers?

So I bought a reupholstry kit for my seats, but haven't been able to do the seats yet because I haven't been able to find any hog ring pliers. Does anyone know where I can find them locally? I've seen some on Ebay and at online stores, but I would prefer to buy them from somewhere around here. I looked at PepBoys and Advance and didn't see any. Should I check at like the Co-Op or something?

Check a local upholstry shop. They will either sell them or know were to get them. I got a set at a store here that sells outdoor stuff, but they have an upholstry section as well. I think they were about $7 or so.

Hades: They are pliers used to attach the fabric to the seat. They use these rigs (hog rings) that you put through a part of the fabic. You then use the pliers to close the ring around parts of the seat frame.

I bought mine at Ace Hardware. You mught try TSC if you have them there. Any good fabric shop that sells upholstry should have them too.

Yeah, I hadn't realized Racing Beat sold them until like a week ago. I wish I would have gotten those instead because the color of the ones I got don't exactly match. I think there is a TSC around here somewhere, so I'll give them a try. Thanks.
